Hello!
It has been a while since our last newsletter as we only email you when there is something constructive to say.
Yesterday, we were shocked by people buying some of our books in order to burn them at stake. We also have an important Loyalty Card announcement, and our Forums have just gone live to give you the place to ask questions and discuss issues (please read on for details).
This email is in a text format, as we would like this one to get through to everyone. Please feel free to give us your feedback if you would like us to keep them like that.
Many thanks – see you for coffee, cake & kink some time!

POSSESSION OF EXTREME PORNOGRAPHY LEGISLATION
The British government is currently legislating to criminalise the possession of “violent” images, or even pictures of consenting adults having, for instance, rough anal sex. If Royal Assent is given, this can very swiftly become the law!
WEDNESDAY, 7 MAY – CENTRAL LONDON PROTESTS
The day kicked off with a book burning at The British Library, and protests continued at 4.30pm in Parliament Square.

COFFEE & CAKE FOR LONDON PROTESTERS
Anyone taking part in the Parliament Square / other protests on Wednesday, 7 May, were treated to coffee & cake on the house. There was plenty going for the spirit so we took care of the body!

HERE TODAY – OUTLAWED TOMORROW ???
Thursday 8 May may be your last chance to buy many great works of erotica, which just happen to feature images that are to become illegal.
One collector’s item which we will not be able to sell any more is “Cabinet of Dark Things” by China Hamilton, available in paperback and hardback in-store and online.

http://coffeecakeandkink.com.lightning1.net/productdetails.aspx?cp=401&item;=Cabinet+of+Dark+Things+PB,+The&sid;=748
This and many other books may become illegal to sell and to own, possibly as soon as Thursday.
TWO MONTHS LEFT: COFFEE, CAKE & KINK LOYALTY CARD
Hundreds servings of coffee and cake and goodies to the value of thousands of pounds, that’s how much we have given away on the Coffee, Cake & Kink Loyalty Card.
Introduced as a launch offer in December 2003, the Loyalty Card was originally valid for one year only, but has proved so popular that we have not had the heart to withdraw it. Due to a host of business reasons, it is time to put it to bed now so please kindly use any remaining credits by the end of June.
We first gave you thumbs up to use up your Loyalty Cards in December, and the six-months phase-out period will finish next month. We would hate anyone to lose the treats they have been looking forward to, so please kindly let your friends know, too.
Naturally, we will continue to look after you, and the loyal Coffee, Cake & Kink crowd in particular. Landlord adventures allowing, we hope to introduce electronic Loyalty/Gift cards, which would enable our online customers to benefit from discounts and special offers just like those who visit us in person.
COFFEE, CAKE & KINK FORUMS GO LIVE!
To ensure we can answer any questions you may have, we have added Coffee, Cake & Kink’s Forums to our website (http://www.coffeecakeandkink.com). Please feel free to contact us, and join the Coffee, Cake & Kink new online community!
MAY 2008 EVENT LISTINGS
9 MAY Fri , 7:00pm-11:00pm – Friday Nights Are Fetish Nights
Come along in your favourite fetish gear for an evening of fun! Gimps and maids welcome! NOTE: Regrettably people in rubber/latex costumes will have to remain upstairs as we currently have no suitable covers for the soft furnishings.
12 MAY, Mon , 6:30pm- 8:00pm – Relationships £5 incl tea/coffee
This is a group that has been set up primarily to start a conversation. Relationships are an unalterable and fundamental part of our lives and yet the frameworks that currently exist don’t always seem to support and fulfil the human potential to relate. For example, technology is increasingly shifting and accentuating the ways in which we can meet, communicate and form relationships with people that we share interests with, however society’s judgements on what a relationship should look like, how many people it should involve, and what it’s nature should be, have remained as rigid. What is needed to create a climate that encourages the freedom of consenting adults to discover and to practice the intimate relationship structure that best meets their emotional and human needs? How can people be broadly understood, and their choices be equally respected and honoured as legitimate and positive? Email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
